you can believe a small, irrelevant lie and still go on happy. a very big lie sucks in more and more of your reality until you have to disbelieve your own eyes and ears.

if you ask the chatbots for "list of top unsolved math problems", the JC comes in at a ranking of around #10 - #20. what, a problem that's been unsolved since 1939 was cracked because anthropic has an underground sweatshop of math Phds cranking out research, just so that they can slap "made by AI" on it? hell, maybe lizard people did it.

this is that xkcd "regular people can only name a few common feldspars" meme. over 90% of consumers have no knowledge at all of tech corps' philosophy on user freedom, they just buy cheap phones that have good cameras and run instagram and tiktok well.

yeah, i type on a corne everyday: https://mark.stosberg.com/markstos-corne-3x5-1-keyboard-layo...

what is your goal? what do you expect would be the pros and cons of linux or mac?

personally, i tried macOS 2 years ago and got frustrated by all the restrictions and differences from linux. i remember wanting to uninstall the default "chess" program, searching around and learning that i literally couldn't without turning off the default security mode, just because there was an off chance that the chess program contained essential code.
